2020 Concerts Corey's (Top 10) 2020 Concerts Traditionally I attend only a few shows in the beginning of each year. With the onset of Covid effectively shutting down performances in March, that pretty much made it impossible to see enough live events to make a list this year. Most of the shows I planned to see this year (2020) got canceled or deferred (sometimes more than once). If things go well rescheduled Dave Mason and Richie Furay (a farewell show) concerts go off in May, then a host of summer outdoor amphitheater concerts are set at Jones Beach in July and August: Jackson Brown and James Taylor, Rod Stewart and Cheap Trick, Doobie Bros. 50th Anniversary, and Squeeze opening for Hall & Oates. As a result this tenth installment in this “series” only can comment on a handful of shows. Thus “Top 10” in parentheses in this year’s title. This year either my wife or daughter, or in one case both, attended each of the shows I that made this year’s top ten; in the case of one band, my wife joined me at a show this past summer and my daughter joined me at a fall performance. Several shows included multiple artists who do headline their own shows; that gave a sense of multiple concerts where I “credit” just one show. 2019 presented tough choices in terms of ranking shows; just so many superb performances that made ranking/ rating them in order just so close. 1) It is hard not to leave an Eagles concert without feeling a bargain no matter how pricey a ticket. The band inspired by Poco played Hotel California in its entirety for its first set and followed with a set of Eagles, James Gang, Joe Walsh classics and Don Henley solo hits. Despite the passing of Glenn Frey, the band played tight; Glenn son, Deacon, and Vince Gill took the late founder’s leads. When I can share such an incredible show for a band that first achieved greatness during my youth with one of my children, it just adds to the experience; my daughter Marisa joined me at Madison Square Garden for this show. Date: February 18. 2) I almost did not make this one. I kept watching for availability and picked up a ticket the Sunday eve before; and I remain glad I got to enjoy it in person. It was the last show before COVID closed everything. It was billed as “The Brothers” and celebrated the Allman Brothers Band 50th Anniversary; it featured Jaimoe, Warren Haynes, Derek Trucks, Oteil Burbridge and Marc Quiñones. Duane (son of Butch) Trucks joined on drums, and Reese Wynans on keyboards and vocals. Chuck Leavell was a special guest. There is a lot of video. Date: March 10. Venue: Madison Square Garden. 3 & 4) I got to enjoy two virtual shows put on by Richie Furay in August and October. They were billed at Back Porch Session (though the 2nd show was in front of the home.). An interest component included virtual guests sitting in. At the August session, Jock Bartley of FireFall played lead on For What Its Worth and current Poco bassist sang background vocals when Richie daughter Jessie covered Jack’s Hard Country. For the October show, Doobie Bros. John McFee contributed Pedal Steel on Pickin’ Up The Pieces, lead on Fallin’ In Love, dobro on A Child’s Claim to Fame and lead on For What It’s Worth (Current Doobie’s bassist John Cowan also contributed backing vocals). Original Poco and Eagles bassist Randy Meissner contributed backing vocals on For What It’s Worth in August and Pickin’ Up The Pieces (October). I remain real hopeful that Richie’s May farewell concert at South Orange Performing Arts Center (SOPAC) can go on as planned. Dates: August 27 and October 30. 5) My friend and (Hofstra) law school classmate Curt Arnel leads and plays drums in Off the Record which several times took honors at Gotham’s Battle of the Bands® (another 2020 event that got deferred.). Curt’s crew have a knack for arranging danceable covers by other artists. The outdoor show featured excellent versions of Marvin Gave’s What’s Goin’ On, Eagles Peaceful Easy Feeling, Traffic’s Feeling Alright (more famous as a Joe Cocker cover), and my 2nd fave Derek and the Dominos tune, Why Does Love Got to Be So Sad. Date: September 12. Venue: Big Daddy’s, Massapequa. So I just tried to fill the void with new playlists that I created (Songs for the Road and Trains Tunes) and watching live show on YouTube. Public Television and Cable. I truly hope to enjoy much more than a handful of live shows in 2021 and report and review accordingly!.

  • Gathering of the Vibes 2008 Chad Berndtson July 29, 2008 Having
    Preview: Gathering of the Vibes 2008 Chad Berndtson July 29, 2008 Having recently finished an enterprise feature for another publication on the glut of national music festivals and what role that glut creates for regional festivals with a lot more personality, I’m more excited this year for the Gathering of the Vibes than I have been in quite some time. As the man said, “He’d have to be one charming motherfuckin pig”…er, sorry, “Personality goes a long way.” Compared to the Roo- and Coachella-sized behemoths, and a lot of the sexy new kids with names both playful and official-sounding—Rothbury might be a bit of both, and allegedly, it was quite the time—the Vibes is a creakier, more elegant dinosaur. A glorious, humble triceratops of a festival, yes, secure in its size, pleasant in its modest ambition and its abilities, not ostentatious, and kindly manageable. And damn isn’t it great to have it back in New England proper (it returned in 2007 after several years of renovation to Bridgeport’s Seaside Park and a few years at various upstate New York locales)? For this born/bred New Englander, it’s not only in a New England/Tri-State area happy medium, but it fills a still-felt void left by the big Phish festivals of yore and especially the can’t-believe-it’s-been-five-years-now departed Berkshire Mountain Music Festival (1997-2003). (For Berkfest alums from those heady days, monsoon conditions and all, have a scoop of nostalgia on the house) The Vibes doesn’t have the gaudy cache of some festivals, or some of the nationally dazzling headliners.

  • Nielsen Music Year-End Report Canada 2016
    NIELSEN MUSIC YEAR-END REPORT CANADA 2016 NIELSEN MUSIC YEAR-END REPORT CANADA 2016 Copyright © 2017 The Nielsen Company 1 Welcome to the annual Nielsen Music Year End Report for Canada, providing the definitive 2016 figures and charts for the music industry. And what a year it was! The year had barely begun when we were already saying goodbye to musical heroes gone far too soon. David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Glenn Frey, Leon Russell, Maurice White, Prince, George Michael ... the list goes on. And yet, despite the sadness of these losses, there is much for the industry to celebrate. Music consumption is at an all-time high. Overall consumption of album sales, song sales and audio on-demand streaming volume is up 5% over 2015, fueled by an incredible 203% increase in on-demand audio streams, enough to offset declines in sales and return a positive year for the business. 2016 also marked the highest vinyl sales total to date. It was an incredible year for Canadian artists, at home and abroad. Eight different Canadian artists had #1 albums in 2016, led by Drake whose album Views was the biggest album of the year in Canada as well as the U.S. The Tragically Hip had two albums reach the top of the chart as well, their latest release and their 2005 best of album, and their emotional farewell concert in August was something we’ll remember for a long time. Justin Bieber, Billy Talent, Céline Dion, Shawn Mendes, Leonard Cohen and The Weeknd also spent time at #1. Break out artist Alessia Cara as well as accomplished superstar Michael Buble also enjoyed successes this year.

  • Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”—The Eagles (1976) Added to the Registry: 2016 Essay by Marc Eliot (Guest Post)*
    “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975)”—The Eagles (1976) Added to the Registry: 2016 Essay by Marc Eliot (guest post)* The Eagles In 1971, the arrival of The Eagles signaled a major shift in popular musical tastes in America. If Woodstock was the funeral for both the music and the culture of a decade of drugged out, hippie, free love and cultish idealism, the Seventies was the decade of blatant decadence, political cynicism, sexual distrust, and rampant narcissism. No band represented both the rejection of the Sixties and the celebration of the Seventies more than its crown princes, the Eagles. Songs like “Lyin’ Eyes,” “Witchy Woman,” “One of These Nights,” and “Already Gone,” filled with spirited playing, close harmonies and an overlay of the Eagles’ war between the sexes, comprise four of the ten selections included in the initial compilation of Eagles’ hit songs from their first four albums, “Their Greatest Hits (1971-1975).” Ironically, although the Eagles’ laid-back sound was bright and natural as Southern California sunshine, none of the original four members were Golden State natives (Don Henley, vocalist, lyricist, drummer, was from Texas, bred on bluegrass and country music; Glenn Frey, vocalist, lyricist, rhythm guitar, pianist, came from the streets of Detroit, influenced by the music of Motown and mentored by Bob Seger; Randy Meisner, on bass, was a veteran bar band night sider out of Nebraska; Bernie Leadon, guitar, mandolin, banjo, was a Minnesotan who loved and loved to play classic country). Each migrated separately to Los Angeles, like lemmings, to The Troubadour, the musical and cultural ground zero club on Santa Monica Boulevard, owned and operated by Doug Weston, who favored putting on his stage country-rock bands and female vocalists.

  • HIGH SOUTH a Change in the Wind with Impressive Three-Part Harmonies, a Dedication to Songwriting, and Unwavering Optimism
    HIGH SOUTH A Change in the Wind With impressive three-part harmonies, a dedication to songwriting, and unwavering optimism, the Nashville-based band High South has developed a dedicated following across Europe, where they’ve been touring regularly there since 2015. Now they’re breaking into the American market with A Change in the Wind, a captivating project that draws comparisons to classic rock bands like the Eagles, Doobie Brothers, and Crosby, Stills and Nash. The group – composed of Jamey Garner, Kevin Campos, and Phoenix Mendoza – sums up it this way: “As vocalists we are always drawn to harmony. It’s such a naturally pleasing sound that we're absolutely hooked on -- and it was never more prevalent than the 1970s. Every kid learns from their environment and we were all fortunate to have parents that exposed us to the music of this era. In a sense, it’s in our soul.” With a desire to carry on that iconic ‘70s vibe, High South teamed with producer Josh Leo, known for his work with Glenn Frey, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Jimmy Buffett, and Kim Carnes, as well as No. 1 hits for country artists Love & Theft and Emerson Drive. Other collaborators on A Change in the Wind include engineer Niko Bolas (Neil Young, Don Henley, Warren Zevon), guitarist Jack Pearson (Allman Brothers Band), keyboard player Tony Harrell (Flying Burrito Brothers), drummer Nir Z (Genesis), and singer Raul Malo (The Mavericks). Although the band released several singles internationally through Universal Germany, A Change in the Wind is their first release with distribution in America.
